WEATHRRFoRD, TEX, Dec. 2S.-Since
the advent of the Santa Fe Railroad into
Weatherford, giving competing lines and
ample railroad facilities, the city has
been adding new features to it's prosper
itY beyond the expectations Of the most
sanguine of her citizens.
The Weatherford Water. Light and Ice
Company has been organized and are now
putting II fine system of wsterworks.
The Weathertord Street Car Company
has been organized and will commence
building in short time. During the fall
there have been erected five handsome
stone business buildings in this place, and
business has been excellent throughout
the season.
It is reported that wholesale firm Of
Fort Worth will open up q branch house
in this city on the first of January. If
this report be true the man or firm is q
wise one, Ifor Weatherford is the place for
business.
MIR. J. Juvenet of New Orleans, an ex-
tensiVe grower Of native jute in Louis
lana and Texas, is in the city and has
succeeded in organizing a rope factory,
composed Of several of the most substan-
tial and enterprising citizens of this
place. The factory is the Weatherford
Native Jute Rope Manufacturing Com
pany, sud it will be only short time IN
til the work of erection will be COM
menced. When thoroughly organized
and under Roadway Weatherford will be
headquarters for Texas for this industry,
which is already being exter slvely Guilt
waited in the southern part
of the state. This rope fac
tory will be another feather in
Weatherford's business cap, and will be
the cause Of other manufacturing enter
prises to establish here.
Weetherford as social, resident and
educational city is behind none. There
are now nine commercial travelling men
residing in this city. They have the ad-
vantage of seeing every city in this and
other states, and have decided that Wealth.

be found.
